Biochemistry holiday newsletter, 1972

DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY LAFAYETTE, INDIANA 47907
December 13, 1972
Dear Purdue Biochemists:
Again, we radiate our best wishes to all of you for a delightful holiday season and especially a ful¬ filling year, with anticipation of good resonance.
Our faculty size (numbers, that is) continues on a plateau as does our, graduate student population, more or less in accord with the national trends. The undergraduate program keeps growing and growing, thanks to a well-deserved reputation built by the staff who teach and counsel our students. At the graduate level, a new and popular course in Biochemistry analysis has been introduced.
The Department is getting into the medicine picture now that Indiana University Medical School has established an outpost at Purdue for an aliquot of their medical students who take their entire first year at Purdue. They get their biochemistry in our department. A new professor is expected to join us this summer, in connection with this program.
Schall's control activities are moving apace. The new Pesticide Control Law is generating far more action than might have been anticipated. Dr. Richard Collier, BCHM 1972, has been named Supervisor of the Pesticide Lab, as an Assistant Professor of Biochemistry.
Idowu Iweibo was honored with the 4th annual Arnold K. Balls Award as the out¬ standing graduating Ph.D. The Hickory Stick Award, given ordinarily to the best Teaching Assistant, had to be multiplied by three because of three incomparable teachers: Peter Dunn, Joanne Killinger and Elfriede Pistorius.
Howard Zalkin is basking in the Palo Alto sunshine while he spends his sabbatical in Yanofsky's lab at Stanford. Hank Weiner is packing his bags to go to Berne on his sabbatical to work with VonWartburg. Ed Mertz is, at this moment, savoring suchi, saki and hospitality in Japan where he has gone with the U.S. Malnutrition Panel of the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Medical Sciences Program. When he is there he will see Dr. Hidetsugu Fuwa. Dr. Fuwa, who spent his first Post-Doctoral at Purdue with Dr. Balls in 1954-55, returned to Purdue this summer for three months research on high lysine corn.
All of us here wish you a joyous season and a great year,
Sincerely,
Bernard Axelrod
